Great to bond with the group on the short ride out. Made the whole experience so much more enjoyable. Although I am scared of heights, I felt safe and supported the entire time. Would zipline again!
Hello!! Yes, wheeeeee love hearing that you felt safe and supported while adventuring in the canopy with us!! Well done for pushing past that fear! As you know, we have you attached every zip and step of the way!! Thank you so much for your support and for choosing to adventure with us!!
Had agreat trip with Alec and the rest of the team. Right from the start they made us welcome and explained everything in detail. I was thinking it might be a miserable experience in heavy rain but they provided great waterproof gear and the rain makes it magical in the forests so dont let rain put you off. The facitliies are great and the walk through the bush would be accessible to all ages and abilites. Nice to see the conservation work that's been happening and to see the bridlife up close. Great family outing if you havent done the ziplines I'd recommend it and will be back again.

We had an amazing experience with Rotorua Canopy Tours, from the original query about booking a group, costs, expectations and the actual tour itself. The customer service is second to none, given by knowledgeable, friendly, charming staff. Not only was it physically enormous fun, we learnt alot about the forest and its inhabitants. The tour guides were supportive, informative, accommodating and fun which made the experience terrific. Thankyou to everyone

Conservation is always at the heart of what we do, so alongside the amazing feeling of flying through the treetops we love that our guests leave knowing they have contributed to the ongoing protection of our beautiful ancient native forest, and hopefully, learned something new to!! Thank you so much for you support!!!
Fantastic tour for our family to experience their first ziplines. The guides were amazing and there was great conversation and comraderie with everyone on the tour. I especially loved that we got to learn about the forest and the organization's conservation work.
I couldn't have asked for a better experience for our first family hipline experiences. We felt safe, had a great time, and learned about the important work the organization was doing. I can not wait to come back and do the other zipline tour!

What an amazing day. I was absolutely crapping myself, but the guides were so patient, kind and reassuring. I for sure would have quit after the first zip line (just my own fears) if it wasn't for their gentleness with me, and am so glad I didn't, and that I got to enjoy this experience with my partner. 15 out of 10.
